Uranus entered Gemini on April 26, 2026. The Full Moon occurs in Scorpio, and in Taurus the Sun is conjunct asteroid 30 Urania, named after the great-granddaughter of Uranus.

Asteroid Urania is a large ellipse shaped main-belt asteroid with a length of 111 km and a width of 89 km. Its orbital period is 3.64 years. In mythology Urania is the heavenly muse of astronomy and astrology. She is often associated with universal love.

According to Demetra George, astrologically Urania represents the principle of inspired knowledge. ”In chart analysis, a prominent Urania indicates an affinity for astrology, astronomy, music (more theory and composition than performance), pure sciences, mathematics, measurement, or numerology.” (Asteroid Goddesses, 2003)

Asteroid Urania was discovered by English astronomer John Russell Hind in 1854 in London. He was a prolific asteroid discoverer of his time. John Russell Hind was born in 1823 in Nottingham, England. In his birth chart, asteroid Urania is at 19+ degrees of Cancer sextile his Sun at 20+ degrees of Taurus. His Sun is in tight conjunction with Arrokoth, a cubewano, which in 2018 was targeted for the space probe New Horizons’ next destination after it would have completed flyby of Pluto. The name Arrokoth means “sky”. Alan Stern, New Horizons principal investigator said in the naming ceremony, that “the name ‘Arrokoth’ reflects the inspiration of looking to the skies, and wondering about the stars and worlds beyond our own.”
